Dear abhayans,

It gives me immense pleasure in signing this page for the month with

deep sense of love and appreciation for abhaya. It is indeed a great

opportunity to share about how I am being transformed while travelling

with abhaya since 2006, the year of its inception and till date. My

contribution to this foundation is very much meager and insignificant, but

I could get numerous opportunities of interacting with people from all

walks of life, who stood as inspiration for me in enlightening me many

ways. I feel that people coming across in our way may be one time needy

for little care and money but they are sent us to transform our impurities

in the heart to a state of realization thereby given me an opportunity to

understand the purpose of LIFE.

Very few assignments in which I was involved, really made me to

improve my passion of giving back to society by learning live lessons for

realization and the transformation from living legends, unequal,

differently abled, despite they being under-privileged, not having any

access to any kinds of resources: When I see back in the past, I recall the

service opportunity I involved and amazed seeing the result are abhaya

hunt the winter, Mission Bhrmahayya, Mission Shopia Glory, Mission

Sarada, Mission Jyothi, Abhaya Atma Viaswasam Saloon Save Mukesh,

Awareness Programs, at various colleges at Anantapur, Penugonda,

Kadiri, Kuppam, Jammalamadugu, Proddator and pooling monthly

resources

During my journey with Abhaya, I could gather many gems like friends

from all streams of lives... knowing them asthey too are like-minded. I

have improved myself while doing my bit for the society in terms of

communications skills, soft skills, public speaking skill, analytical skills,

in understanding the life of destitute on roads. With this treasure of value

addition to my life, it became easy to me to handle Individual, Family,

Professional, Societal and godly responsibilities.

I am very much thankful for whole team of Abahya for kind gestures,

help, motivation, passion, positive thinking, hospitality, incredible

support and energy that was being given to me all through my

association. Today I can proudly say, I am a person living with a

difference. I owe a lot to abhaya for life long.

Yours sincerely

abhaya 5K Run... accelerated the speed of GOOD WORKThe Concept:With the divine will, the entire project came to reality in just one year time, all the civil works

at abhaya Home are completed and operations started with five people whose lives are

otherwise not cared by anyone. Though abhaya still needs to settle contractors bills to the

tune of Rs. 25 lakhs... considering the infrastructure available in hands, the team felt it

appropriate to spread the awareness of abhaya Home in and around Ibrahimpatnam villages.

The plan is to propagate the importance of community work and seek the public support in

running home on one hand and motivate young communities to be connected to abhaya

Home on the other hand.

Human effort - Divine intervention:While abhaya Team is thinking on above lines, Suresh B... got inspired by Founder's talk at

Khammam got connected to abhaya in the 1st week of Jan'14 as soon as he finished his CS

Exams. During discussions, Founder noticing his talent / skill gently challenged him to take up

some activity which can bring hundreds of young students to abhaya home. He further

provided the concept of abhaya 5K Run.

Suresh with the help of D Ramesh (another aspiring youngster who got motivated by the

Founder during IMPACT Session at Hyderabad in December' 13, connected to abhaya through

face book and expressed his desire of becoming a

Trainer) came up with detailed strategy for

conducting abhaya 5K Run from Ambedkar Circle to

abhaya Home of Happiness with about 300 college students from scores of

Engineering/Management Colleges in and around Ibrahimpatnam. The plan was to do

it on, Thursday, 30th Jan'14, Gandhi Smrithi Divas. A session on personality

development was arranged for all the students.

There was a need of at least 6 volunteers for coordinating abhaya 5K Run... to be

honest, there were none to volunteer as the day was working day... but, GOD

responded differently... he had sent exactly 6 volunteers from nowhere. They are all

were briefed about the concept on just 1 day.

I just watched the video for Run For Cause. The concept

wise it seems good.. but here are my concerns. Who will

co-ordinate with those colleges/ students? 30th January

is not a National Holiday.. So what is the plan if colleges

don't agree to send their students? sorry to start with a

negative node... but we should plan with these in mind. -

KSV Sivakrishna, Treasurer, Hyderabad

Just think, this is a working day on the 30th Jan'14... and how can

we make it big??? i am sure many who work will not be

able to attend. Quotations are good to quote! As you

told, we can concentrate on donors n elders... it would

work, I suppose and further please don't plan the run on

working day! even if we plan, do it for youngsters!! - BSushma, Member - aHoH (Infosys)

What were the thoughts before abhaya 5K Rub for cause: We visited AVN, Jagruthi, Sri Chaithanya, Arabindo), Sri

Datha colleges. We just got good response from 3 colleges

and they assured that they will sent at least 50 students, one

student, one coordinator and one faculty member with one

college bus. They will contact us for further

updates. From Arabindo and Sri Datha we

can expect at least 100 students. Because

we went to each class room and explained

about cause. Sri Datha College

management said that If number

participants are more from Sri Datha they

will arrange college bus also. We met A.C.P

of Ibrahimpatnam, he asked entire details

about our organisation, we explained and

responded well and told please take care

of traffic on that day. - T.Karthik,Software Professional, Hyderabad

What happened actually @ abhaya 5k Run:

-Reported by Sri KSV Sivakrishna, Treasurer abhaya

Page 9: Latest Newsletter - Abhaya Foundation

It was on 18th Jan'14, I connected to abhaya during Volunteers Meet conducted at abhaya and it was to plan

the proposed 5K run on 30.1.14 and thereafter in just 5 working days we have visited almost 20 colleges and

made students & public be aware of Abhaya. We met many people and made event successful. Before

connecting to Abhaya my interpersonal skills were not up to mark. I was not able to mingle with people

properly and used to hesitate to talk. To tell you frankly... somewhere in my heart, I used to have a feeling

about my appearance and used to think that no one will talk to me and make friendship. But, during last 12 days of association

with Abhaya, I met & talked to many high profile people, had photographs with them, I talked to over 500 people on phone in last

10 days. This was an amazing experience. Now I am very happy to say that, I am fully charged up with positive vibrations and am

no more feeling inferior now.

abhaya 5K Run was very beautiful. Nearly 600-800 students and general public have come to our Home of Happiness. We planted

trees around HOH & a blood donation camp was conducted in co-ordination with Gandhi Hospital Hyderabad. The best part of the

day was that, the Founder Sir asking me to present prize money to the winner with my hands in front of huge crowd. Tears rolled

from my eyes and I remained shocked and speechless for a while. The breakfast and lunch at the event were very tasty and I loved

to have it many a times. Finally I thank all the Abhayans for letting me be part of Abhaya. – Naveen Kandhuri

While serving someone...I am the 1st Beneficiary: I strongly believe the words "If we start good work, Gods will

come down and help us in completing the work on hands", why because we were just 6 volunteers who

gathered more than 700 students for the " abhaya 5K Run" in just 6 working days and successfully completed

the event. Managements and students given good response and supported the cause. I am very thank full to

them. We have done good team work. I have learned how to motivate, Team work, Leadership, Co-ordinate,

Organize the event. now i am capable to do organize for any events especially 5k Run. Now, I am remembering

the words of Founder during the first volunteer meeting for abhaya 5K Run... "If you render service to the

people which means, you are doing service to yourself" - D Ramesh, Coordinator, abhaya 5K Run

I am feeling proud to be a volunteer, I was very happy to coordinate abhaya 5K Run for cause at

Ibrahimpatnam for the propagation of abhaya Home of Happiness. So many Engineering college students

were participated in this program. I feel honoured for being part of wonderful program which is useful for

the society. RUN FOR CAUSE is the first 5K run I ever participated, I am very happy because the hard work

done by the abhaya Volunteers for 10 days resulted in a great event. I would like to thank Mr. Ramesh,

Naveen, Satya, Ravi, Sai Chitanya, Narasimha and others who gave me immense support for the success of

the program. Thank you all who participated in the program and make it is success - B Suresh,Coordinator - abhaya 5K Run

Please don't mention any thanks to

me. Rather we must thank you for

bringing our focus to the good

cause. We wish success of the 5K

run. - Atul Agarwal, CFO,Medplus Pharma, Hyderabad

I remained shocked and speechless:

I got in touch with Abhaya through Facebook Actually. I

have a keen interest for community work and my aim is

also to be in a service related Job and work for the

people I felt like Abhaya is the perfect platform to work

It felt amazing to just be thereand witness the positive energy of all the people present there as they workedwith passion towards a common goal. At last the team decided to get muchneeded couple hours of sleep to energize themselves for the next day.Everybody started early the next morning putting their best foot forward. As Iwent with the volunteers to capture their effort on camera, the lack of manpowerfor setting things up, proved to be a challenge. But the volunteers with theirpassion and coordination overcame the challenge and managed to organizethings in the nick of time.

The visiting dignitaries and the honorable MLAwere all present at the venue by8am, geared up and ready to go. Everybody estimated the crowd to be around200 or so but nobody could have predicted the turnout that we witnessed. Therewere 600 plus students from colleges all over Ibrahimpatnam. Some of themcalled abhaya team and registered themselves after getting to know about theevent. It was a sight to behold as the run was kicked off. Hundreds of studentsrunning for a cause with abhaya Tshirts and cap was indeed a proud moment forabhaya. The students were all gung-ho about the whole program as they ranwith all their heart and managed to reach abhaya home with their enthusiasmand energy levels still high. Any event abhaya organizes for the awareness ofthe youth were always greeted with a thundering response by the youth butabhaya team

outdid themselves with this event. Such turnout also proves that students are Though, I did know that abhaya was planning the run at Ibrahimpatnam 2 looking to associate themselves with a noble cause. Later an awareness

But true to abhaya style, the scope was The students were enthralled by Founders message to them about socialmagnanimous, the approach was direct, the crew were volunteers and the service and a student's role in the society. The students who were initiallyresult amazing. The whole event was planned and executed by 6 volunteers in unresponsive and chattering among themselves soon found themselves10 days, something that is difficult to do even with a paid staff. I had the good applauding and immersed in Founder's lesson which was sprinkled with sharpfortune to witness their passion and zeal towards the cause. Hats off to Suresh, humor and quick wit. The result was huge number of students pledgingRamesh, Sai, Naveen, Ravindra, Satya and Prasad Uncle. Together they themselves to abhaya and it's way of life. This was in all sense a wonderfulmanaged to contact, educate and motivate students from 20 engineering achievement as abhaya found it's way in the hearts of the students. Thecolleges across Ibrahimpatnam. It is an amazing feat that they worked on motivation of the youth soon materialized into something very productive as 70various aspects of such event management and were able to follow up till the units of blood was collected at the blood donation camp organized by abhayavery end. It is also to be noted that majority of them came in contact with abhaya and Ghandi Hospital. There were games held by abhaya volunteers whichonly a short while ago, but they believed in the cause so much that they went proved to be big hit among the students. The winners of the 5K run wereahead and took responsibility of organizing such an event and in announced and a tree was planted by them in their name. Thus cementing theirthe process educating and bettering themselves. relationship with abhaya. This was a very inspiring event for me and it

strengthens the belief shared by so many in abhaya.I started my journey night before the event with the Founder and three othervolunteers (Naveen, Satya and Ravindra). I was assigned the task of capturing I am very sorry to bungle up the coverage of this event. There were a lot ofthe whole event in camera, to which I showed my class very early when I tried to things I should have done and some things I should never do. It was a newtake pictures with the camera cap on, much to the dismay of the Founder. Then experience for me to cover such a crowded event and I planned poorly. I hopewe were packed in a car with all the goods and started towards our destination. you will take it in your heart to forgive me. I feel terrible that one thing I wasOur journey to Ibrahimpatnam was interesting too as the Founder and the supposed to do I did it wrong. But, I will try my best to provide a good film. I willvolunteers went over last minute details while I marveled at their energy in my not make the same mistakes again (and I will try my best not to make any newhalf asleep state.

We felt immense pleasure in participating in the abhaya “ Hunt The Winter 2013” . As a

part of this program five of us (me, Murali, Abhijeet, Sunil and Mahesh) started at

11:15 PM on January 6th night from Wakad, Pune to distribute the blankets to the needy

people. Our destination for that day was to cover all the areas till Pune Railway Station.

We Started from Wakad by searching the people on the footpaths and below the fly

overs ,and then reached Aundh. But we could not find any people in Aundh. So, we

moved on and reached Pune University Road. There we parked our vehicle and walked

almost 2kms searching for the people in each and every corner of that place, but could

not found any needy people over there.

We reached Shivaji Nagar. There we found a old person trying to sleep on the road with a

very thin cover which is not at all sufficient in that climate. We went to him and covered

him with our blanket and in return we received wonderful blessings too, we felt very

happy and went inside the Shivaji nagar railway station and there we distributed

blankets to some people who don't even have any blanket and struggling in the cold and

unable to sleep.

We went to Pune Railway station. There we found

some old people who were not able to sleep at all

in that cold temperatures and waiting for

someone's help. As our motto is to help those

kind of needy people only, we went and

distributed the blankets to those people and

they felt very nice and slept warm irrespective of

the cold climatic conditions. We distributed all

the blankets on that day. And It was already 3'O

difficulty in passing the urine. After knowing his problem abhaya team

During the treatment the family took shelter at abhaya Home of Happiness

critical and immediate health issues of Manohar. We wish Manohar and his

brother a speedy recovery.

May GOD give them all strength and courage to cope with their illness at the

Mission Mahender: Mahender

lost his hearing ability 5 years ago.

Coming from a very economically weak

background his uncle approached abhaya

for help to support Mahender's ear

surgery. With the help of Dr. Rambabu, a

reputed ENT surgeon Mahender's exact

problem was diagnosed and the doctor

kindly referred his case to Sahi (Society

To AID The Hearing Impaired). With the

kind support of SAHI Mahender's surgery

was successfully conducted at Apollo

Hospital, Jubilee Hills – Hyderabad and

he was put up at abhaya home for post-

surgical care and recovery.

Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Rambabu and

SAHI for standing besides Mahender and

his family during this critical hour of

need. The most interesting fact is that all

this kind deed of charity was arranged

and managed in just four days. Does this

not prove the divine presence of GOD in

every human being - giving an

opportunity of serving and being served.-

One of the primary objectives of abhaya is Educare. We are

continuously working on Educare projects and initiatives for

improving the lives of many students who are very

meritorious but coming from poor economic background. It

was heartening to note the academic progress of all the

students and efforts taken by them to improve their

personalities and support the good cause of abhaya.

It was a very good feeling to know that having associated with

abhaya all the students have imbibed the responsibility to

serve the society and help the mankind. Towards this, they are

utilising their free time by participating in abhaya activities and

helping their neighbors and friends with their studies.

On January 23 & 24, the Founder and few of the abhaya volunteers visited

Chirala and interacted with 1000s of youngsters sharing their thoughts on

the values learned in life. There were series of meetings & sessions

conducted in 4 colleges and 2 high schools in and around Chirala. We are

very grateful to Sai Organisation for giving an opportunity to serve the

community and sharing the knowledge and experiences for the benefit of rural youth and kids.

I have learned so many things during our visit to Chirala during the 2days (23rd & 24th) tour. I have learned that as a personality

development trainer and as a human being as well. I have learned the difference between interacting with kids and college

students. I witnessed the skill set needed as to how should one give motivation, inspiration and touch the instantaneous topics

(Universal High School). I also understood as to how to eat (without wasting single peace) though it looks like funny as lot of

people don't know the value of food.

The most Important thing is exponential learning as to how a trainer should behave

in real life. I learned how to serve people and importance of the service in life.

LEADERSHIP QUALITIES, TRAINER QUALITIES, in one word, I really did practical on

the topic "COMPLETE PERSONALITY. The Founder take a father's PLACE and
